Employee Commendation and Complaint Process The UC Davis Police Department welcomes positive comments about its service or personnel.

In Person Disposition Employee Complaint Process The UC Davis Police Department welcomes valid complaints about its service or personnel.

They also help us protect the campus community from possible misconduct, and to provide a basis for a thorough and impartial investigative procedure to protect those department employees who perform their duties properly. A cooperative relationship between the UC Davis Police Department and the community it serves, fostered by confidence and trust, is essential to successful law enforcement. It is the policy of the UC Davis Police Department, and the law, to accept and thoroughly investigate all complaints concerning the conduct of its personnel or operations, and to make available to the public a written description of its complaint procedures in compliance with California Penal Code section 832.5(a).
